Security meets simplicity

If you’re willing to research, download, and install multiple extensions, and carefully configure and correctly maintain settings in both the browser and extensions, you can match some of Brave’s privacy and security.

Brave does all that work for you. Simple, right

Brave Shields keep your browsing experience fast, safe, and private.

Brave blocks ads and trackers

You can’t be identified or tracked from site to site without your knowledge.

Customize your shields

Choose your settings on a per-site or browser-wide basis. See how many ads and trackers are being blocked by Brave every day by looking at your dashboard.

Secure site upgrades

Whenever possible, Brave automatically upgrades to HTTPS for secure, encrypted communications when an ordinary browser would use an insecure connection.

Defaults that matter

Browse confidently with default settings that block phishing, malware, and malvertising. Also, plugins, which have proven to be a security risk, are disabled by default.

Sync your devices bravely

Brave Sync, currently in beta, can be enabled to encrypt and synchronize your preferred settings and bookmarks. However, Brave does not have the keys to decrypt your data.

Give Some Back

Activate Brave Payments and give a little back to the sites you frequent most. Help fund the content you love – even when you block ads.

Browsing the web with Brave is free: with Brave Payments activated, you can support the content creators you love.

Use Brave Payments to choose a contribution amount that works for you – from a few dollars a month on up to be divided among your favorite sites and content creators.

Brave can automatically distribute your contributions based on how much time you spend on sites. Or, you can choose to control exactly which sites receive what percentage of your contributions.

Privacy-protecting payments

All of this works while keeping your browsing history private. Your funds are made available to site owners through an anonymous ledger system, so you can’t be identified based on the sites you visit and support — even by our own servers. Over 10,000 publishers and content creators have registered to receive Brave Payments.

Remember: these contributions are optional – browsing the web with Brave is free.
